The great problem is that it likely doesn’t even matter who is in office, especially when neither one of them understand the fundamental issues that are causing the debt today. The Mittens campaign has stopped discussion of social security reform, and are even arguing over who is cutting Medicare more. Bottom line, even Ryan’s must dreaded (or praised) plan doesn’t actually cut anything. It is based on voodoo math, fake expectations of “growing” our way out of the problem, cutting one part of Medicaid to increase the spending in another part. It’s all smoke and mirrors, and we are looking at the images they project and are praising them, investing ourselves further and further into the big lie. And that big lie is that we are going to “save” the country on our own. Conservatives don’t even understand what caused the problem to begin with. It wasn’t Obama. It wasn’t Bush. It won’t even be Romney. It’s the ideology behind all of them, a downward spiral that started a long time ago and is only lately becoming more apparent since we are approaching the event horizon.

The only real difference I see here for a Mittens win vs an Obama win is this: If Mittens wins, “conservatives” are guaranteed to be complacent. The reason being that we have embraced “leaders” who don’t actually have any ideas, integrity or honor, but whom we vaunt as having them. The party always comes first when it comes down to it, and people embrace their delusions more readily than they do reality. Obama, at the very least, for the people who do not understand the problem, represents a very obvious problem. Until we can get a new breed of leadership, it is better to be a resisting minority than a complacent majority. Of course, it’s likely none of it matters, as I do not know if it’s possible for us to escape the great economic collapse that is coming with the mindset we have. Perhaps the collapse will do us good, insomuch that tribulation always makes us stronger, provided it does not kill us.

The great problem is that the Marxist usurper and his co-conspirators in the democrat party are purposely destroying our economy and are freedoms. He and they must be stopped or this country does not survive as a free nation. Romney may not be our savior, but if we can stop the Marxist from doing anymore major damage, we may be able to salvage the country. Look at the coal miners and the preachers lining up to vote against Obama and telling their democrat members to drop out of the evil party. Look at the tea party and the Chick-Fil-A movement. Look at the outrage all across America with thousands of businesses going under and millions of people unemployed. And Obama sitting there smugly in the W/H trampling on the constitution, bypassing the congress, thumbing his nose at the people while enjoying the destruction he’s inflicting. There is a great movement underfoot and it’s going to come busting out on election day. The democrats are going to be utterly destroyed!! The moral majority will not be held back!! This is America not the USSR!! Obama can go straight to hell!! He and his ilk didn’t create anything other than a huge mess. A disaster.
